The checker on the acepoint needs to be covered and the checker on the 4-point is not well placed to do much else. Besides, if you make the 22-point, what's your last ace?

After 4/3*/2*/1, then what? This is probably the crux of the problem. 23/22 is OK but with two checkers on the bar I'm going to created a builder. 8/7 or 11/10? With small numbers playing in Blue's homeboard it may be worth breaking the semi-valuable 11-point, creating a 5 for building the 5-point. Or is that overplaying the position? 8/7 is a builder for low points as well and one less blot. Cooler heads prevail.

Finish it with 8/7.
